It’s about 25 minutes worth watching to learn about what is coming next.Â As a cord cutter who is relying on Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime, I found this an interesting conversation about the development of “over-the-top” programming.Â

These streaming services are changing the entire business and certainly disrupting traditional cable television.Â

Watch the conversation below.

PUBLIC BROADCASTING INVALUABLE TO MANY

The Sunday issue of Click,The Dispatchâ€™s weekly television guide, brought to my attention the program Your Turn to Care on WOSU-TV (Channel 34). This four-part series, produced by KCET in California, had timely and valuable information about providing moral, health and economic care and support for oneâ€™s aging relatives.

The series was particularly valuable to me because my father and mother are in their early 90s.

In last weekâ€™s presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney declared his intention to end federal funding for public television and radio. Without public television, I canâ€™t see such educational and constructive programming being offered by cable or commercial network television.

Public broadcasting is a treasure that must be defended.

PBS Documentary Filmmaker Ken Burns also made the case for continued federal funding for public broadcasting in his inspiring op-ed â€œRomneyâ€™s war on public TV is a loss for USAâ€, which can be viewed by clicking here.

The New York Times gives a thorough synopsis of the current controversy here.
